Never detangle when is dry and always us a wide tooth comb. Always treat your hair as if it was your baby.

Cantu shea butter is a great leave in conditioner 🙏🏾

Avocado oil is really good for finger detangling and moisturizing (not just your hair but scalp too) it absorbs easily, it’s not as clogging as coconut oil, and it doesn’t leave a smell.

hot oil treatments!! never dry hair with a towel (use a soft t-shirt) and sleep on a silk pillow case or use a silk scarf and tie it on your pillow. cotton pillow cases absorb the natural oils in your hair and dries your hair out which can make it very frizzy. same with towels!

Yes! Hot oil treatments are amazing. Use Jamaican black castor oil for thin area 🙏🏾

take out twists/braids/bantu knots outs when COMPLETELY dry for best results

1) Eco styler is the best gel to lay down edges 2) After taking out your protective style and while your washing your hair, you will notice A LOT of shedding, it’s just the hair that wasn’t able to shed freely while you had in your protective styling 3) Eco Styler+Hard Brush+Bandana+Toothbrush= fleeky edges. 1) Take a good but not odee amount of gel and put on edges 2) Brush your edges a little back and curve them a little while brushing(you can use the toothbrush for the curving part) 3) Tie bandana around edges tightly(not too tight) and push the bandana back a little and take the toothbrush and take a little of the hair and brush them in the direction of your forehead or cheeks 4) Leave the bandana on for 30+ minutes 5) Take off bandana and touch up your edges with toothbrush (this is an option not mandatory) Stretching 4b/c hair(Still works for just 4b hair type) 1) Part hair into four sections 2) Spray Hair lightly and put in your usual leave in product (ex; sheamoisture, cantu ect.) 3) Take one of the four sectioned hair and put it in a scrunchy 4) Take the hair in the scrunchy and braid it 5) Repeat this for every section of hair 6) Let hair air dry for a little bit and then wrap hair 7) For extra stretching put hair in cornrows Use Aunt Jackie’s “Don’t Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel” for good twist outs

Really don’t detangle your hair while dry. Don’t. And resist the random urges to trim your ends. Using coconut oil first and then sealing with shea moisture deep conditioner keeps my hair really soft. Don’t be afraid to use deep conditioners frequently or as leave in moisturizers. Be as gentle as possible when handling your curls. Wearing a satin scarf around your edge area for a while right before you’re ready to leave keeps them laid down. Don’t wash your hair with shampoo too frequently. (I have type 3c curls). If you hear ripping noises, stop lmao.

Shea moisture, cantu, creme of nature raw coconut oil works wonders for dry 4a curls 🙏🏾

Applying your conditioner on your wet hair BEFORE detangling makes detangling so much easier. If you wash or cowash your hair in the shower and apply your conditioner in the shower, run cold water through your hair. It’ll seal all the product/moisture in your hair. Bantu Knot Tip: don’t attempt it on wet hair unless you have days to let it dry. Do it on lightly damp hair. The results turn out more defined and less puffy/frizzy (especially for 4a/4b hair like mine) Trimming ends on a regular basis/schedule is NOT necessary! Trim ONLY when you see split ends, damage, single strand knots, etc. And ALWAYS USE HAIR CUTTING SCISSORS ONLY!

If any naturalistas want to take a different approach on washing your hair with shampoo, and doesn’t feel all that clean with Co-washing; you can use BENTONITE CALCIUM CLAY. It’s a natural clay. It’s also conditions as well as cleanse the scalp and shafts. On top of that, it stimulates the scalp, so it may help with thinner areas. With time at least.. I’ve done it and once I find the time, I’ll do it on a regular basis. You can go on google and search where to buy. Another plus is that: originally it’s a face mask and you can exfoliate your skin with it as well.

Had to re-reblog for that comment ^^ Bentonite clay saves my hair on the regular

go through the notes ladies 

Thanks for this yall. I just cut off my locs and now I have 4c hair that I was never taught to manage. This is an awesome post.

😊😊

If you live in an area where it gets really cold for winter and your hair gets super dry buy a steamer. I just bought a Q-Redew steamer and it helps seal in moisture very well. You can also use it to stretch hair without heat damage, not saying it will be as good as a blow out but it’ll definitely stretch it out some. It’s also good to use steam for treatments so it opens up your follicles. (There’s lot of videos on YouTube on how to use it and stuff) it’ll probably be on sale soon for Christmas. It’s usually 69.95.

Don’t detangle your hair when it is dripping wet, or dry! They both cause breakage. Opt for detangling when damp and make sure you have a lot of slip!

when you’re protective styling (box braids, senegalese, etc) make sure you’re still moisturizing and cleansing your scalp

Try the Jamaican black castor oil with coconut oil. I use it and bought a color applicator bottle for the tip and just apply it to my scalp once a week and let it soak in. Always use a wide tooth comb always always always!

massaging your scalp for at least 20 mins increases blood flow and promotes growth 💚✨
